Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 126 The Cave World

Under this mysterious and unpredictable power, Rorschach's body seemed to enter a state of time freeze.

He was completely unable to move; his cell metabolism, blood flow, and so on had all come to a standstill.

As soon as this mysterious power appeared, it entered the "hole" in Luo Xia's dantian. It seemed to be observing the "hole" in Luo Xia's dantian. Then, it acted on Luo Xia's body.

Rorschach's consciousness did not fall into a state of time freeze.

He sensed it clearly.

When this force acted on his body, his body, which was on the verge of collapse, began to heal. At the same time, his life genes also began to improve under this force, becoming stronger than the genes of ordinary life.

1x, 2x, 3x... 9x, 10x!

Ultimately, Rorschach's life gene level reached 10 times that of ordinary life genes!

As his life genes were enhanced, Luo Xia's martial arts realm also continued to improve!

Planetary level 7, Planetary level 8... Constant level 1!

Suddenly, Luo Xia's consciousness arrived in a space filled with countless floating points of light.

Each of these points of light contains incredible power.

Rorschach was somewhat bewildered. "Where am I? How did my consciousness end up here?"

He looked at the points of light, his mind filled with doubt, "What are these points of light?"

suddenly!

call out--

One of the points of light suddenly transformed into a streak of light and shot towards Luo Xia's consciousness at a speed far exceeding the speed of light. It seemed that here, the speed of light was no longer the ultimate speed.

Before Luo Xia could even react, the point of light had already rushed into his consciousness.

boom……

Images flashed rapidly into Rorschach's consciousness.

Rorschach seemed to see the beginning of time, the birth of the universe, endless life multiplying and flourishing, and civilization sprouting and developing...

He witnessed the destruction of the universe, the withering of life, the destruction of civilization, and the annihilation of stars...

Numerous images surfaced in Luo Xia's consciousness, only to be erased and forgotten as if they were simply not meant to be remembered.

Bang!

Rorschach's consciousness was kicked out of this space.

……

Fifteen thousand meters underground, Luo Xia opened his eyes in a daze.

He realized that the mysterious and unpredictable power that had descended upon him had vanished!

Just as it appeared suddenly, it left just as suddenly.

Rorschach's body, which had been frozen in time, resumed its activity.

He was momentarily stunned as he watched the tremendous changes taking place in his dantian.

At this moment, the six miniature planets in his dantian had disappeared, replaced by a fireball like a star, which floated in his dantian and slowly rotated.

And next to this "star" is a "hole".

If you probe your consciousness into the "hole," you will see that it is a world with nothing in it, completely empty.

The "hole" is not large; it looks about the same size as the "star" next to it.

Rorschach had a sudden thought.

The "hole" immediately unleashed a tremendous devouring power.

Instantly, the cosmic energy surrounding him surged wildly into his body, entering the "hole" in his dantian!

Once these cosmic energies enter the "hole," they are transformed into extremely pure primal force and spiritual power.

Then the Force and mental energy flowed out of the "hole". The Force merged into the "Star" next to it, while the mental energy flowed into Rorschach's sea of ​​consciousness, strengthening Rorschach's mental energy "Star".

After reaching the first level of the Hengxing realm in martial arts.

Luo Xia's mental power has also reached the third level of the Hengxing level!

The spiritual crystal planet in the sea of ​​consciousness has now transformed into a "constant star" radiating light!

Around this luminous "star", there are two smaller "stars" revolving around it!

Indeed, fortune and misfortune are intertwined.

Rorschach sighed—

"Although I've rashly opened up my inner world... no, this isn't a true inner world yet, it should be considered a prototype. Since it looks like a 'cave,' let's call it 'Cave Heaven World,' which is quite similar to the 'opening up of a cave heaven' described by the legendary immortals..."

"Opening up this grotto-heaven world was extremely dangerous. I was in dire straits just now, almost dying! But I succeeded in the end, and I gained a lot! Not only did my strength increase to the Hengxing level, but my life gene also reached 10 times that of an ordinary life form!"

"The Golden Horned Beast's genetic level also seems to be 10 times higher?"

"Babata's joking remark about a 'humanoid golden-horned behemoth' has actually come true. With his current ten times the life force, his physical abilities are comparable to those of the golden-horned behemoth!"

Of course, for Luo Xia, the most important gain was not the improvement in his realm or the strengthening of his life genes.

Rather... it was the innate secret technique that the light spot in that mysterious space gave him!

This is a secret innate technique called "Opening Heaven and Earth".

This innate secret technique is extremely powerful!

Follow the information that comes to mind.

If Rorschach is powerful enough, he could create a "world" completely under his control in the outside world!

If an enemy falls into it, their entire strength will be suppressed and weakened by the power of heaven and earth, while Luo Xia will be greatly enhanced!

Once inside the world he created, the enemy will be unable to use spatial powers, teleport, or break through space, etc.

Of course, Luo Xia's current strength is not great.

It cannot truly "create a new world".

At present, this innate secret technique can only allow Rorschach to cut through space.

However, cutting through space is already an extremely powerful ability at Rorschach's level!

Cutting space means destroying space at the spatial level.

Without a treasure to resist spatial forces, Rorschach's "Opening the Heavens and Creating the Earth" would be a real injury!

In the realms of planetary and eternal stars, who would possess a treasure capable of resisting spatial attacks?

"Directly bestowing a talent technique upon my consciousness... Was what just descended the primordial will of the universe?"

Rorschach was astonished, never expecting that his attempt to open up his inner world at the planetary level would actually attract the primordial will of the universe.

This universe has its own fundamental will.

In the original work, when Luo Feng's life genes reached the perfect level, the original will of the universe descended directly and bestowed upon him a powerful innate secret technique, "I am the universe"!

"So, is elevating my genetic level and granting me the innate secret technique 'Creation of Heaven and Earth' a blessing and reward from the universe?"

Rorschach whispered.

He guessed correctly; the mysterious power that had just descended was the primordial will of the universe.

In the endless ages since the birth of the universe, Rorschach was the first life form to open up an alternative inner world—the Cave Heaven World—at the planetary level. For this, the primordial will of the universe descended to reward and bestow blessings upon him.

"It truly is a place where danger and opportunity coexist."

Luo Xia sighed, he never expected that he would attract the will of the universe and receive such a great reward.

"With the cave world, I can now use the innate secret techniques I learned from the Golden Horned Beast: Devouring and Doppelganger."

Luo Xia attempted to use "Devour," and a golden rune appeared on his stomach. Then, the "Cave World" manifested, devouring all the cosmic energy around him.

Once these cosmic energies enter the cave world, they are transformed into spiritual power and primal force.

"Since the cave world isn't a true inner world yet, it can only absorb cosmic energy for now...?"

Rorschach sensed it carefully.

Then he confirmed that the "devouring" talent he had learned from the Golden Horned Beast could only be used to devour cosmic energy or some energy crystals, such as the Wood Crystal.

Other substances, such as metals, stones, and wood, cannot be consumed by him.

Even if it were swallowed into the cave world, he wouldn't be able to digest it.

In the end, all I could do was "spit it out".

Only pure energy substances such as cosmic energy and energy crystals can be absorbed.

Once these energies enter the cave world, they are quickly transformed into spiritual power and primal force.

The speed at which he absorbed energy and transformed it into mental power and primal force was more than 10 times faster than the speed at which he had previously cultivated and transformed mental power and primal force!

"Alright, from now on I can rely on my Devouring Talent to cultivate."

"What about the clone talent?"

Luo Xia's mind stirred slightly, and immediately, the specific information about the "clone" talent appeared in his mind.

The clone ability hasn't changed much.

Like the Golden Horned Beast, he can also create clones at the planetary, cosmic, and world lord levels.

"However, my clone talent has a drawback..." Luo Xia carefully sensed the information about the clone talent in his mind, "If a clone dies, it is completely dead and cannot be revived or reformed..."

This is somewhat different from the Golden Horned Beast's ability to create clones.

As long as the original core of the Golden Horned Beast remains intact and the main body survives, even if the clone dies, it can be reassembled and resurrected.

As for Rorschach, once his clone dies, he is truly dead.

He could no longer bring it back to life.

Moreover, once the clone dies, his three chances to recreate clones will not be returned.

"Is it true that every gain comes with a loss...?"

Luo Xia didn't care much about this, after all, he had gotten the clone talent for free from the Golden Horned Beast.

"By the way, can my first clone give birth to a golden-horned behemoth?!"

Luo Xia's eyes lit up at the thought of the Golden Horned Beast. "If I could nurture a Golden Horned Beast, wouldn't I have three more slots for clones?!"

"Holy crap! I'm a genius!"

Luo Xia clapped his hands together, no longer staying underground, and flew directly to the surface along the previous passage!

Before long, he returned to the ground of Kirishima.

It was already night.

Under the glittering stars, Luo Feng's massive body lay prostrate in the darkness, appearing and disappearing like a majestic mountain peak in the mist.

"Big brother!"

Luo Xia flew to Luo Feng's side and called out.

"Xia, what's wrong with you...?"

Luo Feng shifted his gaze from the child's photo to Luo Xia.

He keenly noticed that Rorschach's life force had changed.

It seems to be more "perfect".

This feeling of "being somewhat perfect" comes from the elevation of the life's genetic level.

"Brother, give me a drop of your blood."

"Rorschach said."

His ability to create clones is the same as that of the Golden Horned Beast; as long as he obtains some of the opponent's body tissues, he can directly replicate and reproduce them.

"What do you need my blood for?"

Although Luo Feng was puzzled, he still used his sharp fingers to cut open his palm and squeeze out a drop of blood.

"Devour!"

Luo Xia immediately used his Devouring Talent, and golden runes appeared on his stomach. Then, his cave world appeared and absorbed the drop of blood from the golden-horned beast.

Luo Feng was taken aback. "What is this...?"

"Hahaha, big brother, I've created a hidden world within my body!" Rorschach explained, "So now I can also use the Golden Horned Beast's Devouring and Doppelganger talents!"

When Babata, who was playing a game in virtual space, heard this voice, he was so frightened that his hand trembled and the game character he was controlling died.

She didn't even bother to restart the game; she flew out of her wristband and looked at Luo Xia, asking:

"What did you just say?"

Luo Xia looked at the astonished Luo Feng and Babata, and repeated himself, saying:

"I have created the prototype of an inner world, a grotto-heaven world, in the location of my dantian. That's why I can now use the Golden Horned Beast's talent."

Babata stared wide-eyed at Rorschach for a long while before saying weakly, "Didn't I warn you never to try it?"

"I'm fine, aren't I?" Rorschach smiled sheepishly.

Babata shouted, "You'll die if anything happens! Damn it! I knew I shouldn't have told you World Lord level information! If you die, only your older brother and I will be left on Meteorite Star!"

Luo Feng looked at Luo Xia seriously and said, "Xia, you can't take such risks again! If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to Mom, Dad, and Ahua?"

He felt apprehensive and afraid just thinking about it for a moment, if Rorschach were to die.

He had two younger brothers, Luo Hua and Luo Xia.

Moreover, Rorschach stayed by his side the whole time.

If Luo Xia really died, Luo Feng really didn't know what to do.

"I understand, brother."

Luo Xia bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Babata then asked, "You said you created a celestial world?"

Luo Xia nodded and began to explain to Babata and Luo Feng.

Of course, he couldn't speak about the fundamental will of the universe.

It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but that the universe won't let him.

So Luo Xia gave a brief explanation of the inner world within his body.

After hearing Rorschach's words, Babata stared in astonishment, "You're truly defying the heavens! You managed to succeed like that?!"

Rorschach smiled.

Luo Feng was also incredibly amazed, yet felt very fortunate. He reminded her again, "Xia, you can't take such risks again next time."

"I know, brother." Rorschach nodded and smiled. "There probably won't be a next time."

Babata rolled his eyes at him and said, "You want a next time? Rorschach, you can't be this lucky every time."

Then she asked, "You just took the blood of the Golden Horned Beast from Luo Feng, so are you planning to create a clone of the Golden Horned Beast?"

Rorschach nodded. "Yes, and according to my estimation, after the Golden Horned Beast clone is successfully conceived, I'll have three more opportunities to conceive clones!"

Babata clapped his hands excitedly and said:

"That's right! Because your clone and main body can coexist, the Golden Horned Beast's inner world and your own inner world may not be shared. In other words, the Golden Horned Beast you nurture will also have three opportunities to nurture clones!"

"Haha!" She looked at Luo Xia, extremely excited. "Luo Xia, you're a genius! Absolutely incredible!"

Luo Xia looked at Babata with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

Her mood changed so quickly.

Luo Feng asked, "Xia, how long will it take you to create a clone of the Golden Horned Beast?"

"Wait a minute."

As Luo Xia spoke, he closed his eyes and his consciousness entered the inner world of his dantian.

In this desolate world, a drop of blood from a golden-horned behemoth floats suspended in the void.

"Nurture!" Rorschach activated his clone ability.

Golden runes covered Rorschach's entire body.

Immediately afterwards, both the Force Star and the Psychic Star released strands of Force and Psychic Power.

These two forces entered the cave world, enveloping the blood of the Golden Horned Beast and gradually forming an egg. The egg was covered with golden runes identical to those on Luo Xia's body.

Inside the egg, the blood of the Golden Horned Beast was broken down into its original genetic material.

The golden egg absorbed this genetic material and began to nurture the golden-horned behemoth's clone!

After sensing for a moment, Luo Xia opened his eyes and said to Luo Feng and Babata, "If left to develop naturally, it will probably take more than 130 years to successfully conceive!"

"Over 130 years?" Luo Feng asked, somewhat surprised. "That long?"

Babata said, "Actually, over 130 years isn't a long time. After all, Luo Xia's cave world isn't a true inner world; it has flaws and limitations. Moreover, the Golden Horned Beast's body is incredibly powerful, belonging to one of the pinnacle bloodlines in the universe. Is over 130 years of gestation really that long?"

As she spoke, she looked at Luo Xia and asked, "But you said 'if'... Is there any way to speed up this gestation process?"

Rorschach nodded and said, "As long as there is a sufficient energy supply, I can speed up the incubation process."

"Energy?" Babata asked. "Any kind of energy will do? Even Muya Crystal?"

"Yes, if there are enough Wood Crystals, I can shorten its gestation process to one or two years."

Luo Xia nodded and said.

Babata looked conflicted and said, "The Wood Seed Crystals I've preserved here were originally intended for nurturing you two brothers and the Cloud Vine, especially the Cloud Vine, which consumes the most Wood Seed Crystals..."

Luo Feng then said, "Compared to the Golden Horned Beast, the growth of the Cloud Vine can be slower. Babata, why don't we give the remaining Wood Crystals to Xia first? If his Golden Horned Beast can be conceived quickly, it will greatly enhance his combat power!"

"That's true!"

Babata nodded and looked at Rorschach.

"Let's use the remaining Wood Crystals to speed up the hatching of the Golden Horned Beast's clone!"

The amount of Wood Crystals I originally saved was just enough for you two to cultivate to the third level of the Eternal Star. Now that you are both at the Eternal Star, I was thinking of using these Wood Crystals to nurture the Cloud Vine for both of you.

But Luo Feng is right; compared to the Golden Horned Beast's clone, the growth of the Cloud-Piercing Vine can be gradual.

She took out a Wood Crystal from her storage space. "Take one and try it first."

Luo Xia nodded, activated his Devouring Power, and swallowed Mu Yajing into the Cave World.

Under his control, the cave world rapidly absorbed the energy contained in the wooden crystal and used this energy to hatch the golden-horned giant beast's clone.

Under Rorschach's perception.

The process of creating the Golden Horned Beast's clone has indeed been shortened!

I initially misread the Golden Horned Beast's clone ability; it has now been corrected. It is indeed Planetary level, not Celestial level. I sincerely apologize for this.
